Hello guys!
My washer nozzles sprinkle too low the washer fluid to the windshield. How can i raise them?
I thought i could do that with a needle, but it seems doesn't work like that.
I looked in the manual, but it does not say anything about this.
Any ideas?

No, i don't think the problem is with the pressure of fluid. It can be seen how it comes at high speed on the windshield.
It's just the position that bothers me.
Now it's something like the picture shows. The above area remains often dry when wipers start.

Mine sprays in the same area. I've asked the dealer to check and the answer comes back as normal operation. I've driven 1 and 3 series and the spray is a real fine spray with a nice coverage pattern.. anyone?

From my experience with other brands of cars, it's not normal at all. The above area remains most of the time dry and wipers may scratch the windshield. Not to say that remains uncleaned... :thumbsdown:

My 08 has basically the same pattrern. I was able to adjust a single nozzle on each side using a pin. Howver, the best thing to do is only use the nozzles when the car is moving. The upward air flow over the windshield forces the spray to sweep over the upper area of glass.(just a thought)

But i'm very interrested in how you managed to adjust the nozzle... I haven't managed or did not know how.

I wish I could tell you easily. It was two years ago. I assumed at the time that they were adjustable and may have forced the small metal roller ball to move inside the plastic housing. I thought I used a pin but may have used something more solid like a paper clip. I definitely moved the two outside nozzles since they now spray high to each side where I wanted them. If, as luigi states, that they are not supposed to move then don't damage them based on my experience.
